This study aimed to develop the Nausea and Vomiting Thermometer Scale (NVTS) in children with cancer.
This methodological study was conducted on 250 children with cancer at the research and training university hospital in Turkey between September 2019 and January 2020. The t-test, the ROC analysis, the Diagnostic index, and the Youden index were used for determining the scale of the cutting point. The regression analysis, the intra-class correlation coefficient, and the BlandAltman analysis were used for the data analysis.
The scale-level content validity index was .94, which was coherent. As a result of the ROC analysis, the cut-off point was determined as three points. The NVTS showed good reliability, with an intra-class correlation coefficient of .99. In the linear regression analysis, a model was created for chemotherapy drugs, nausea and vomiting type, vomiting status, and the number of children with cancer who vomited explained 44.9% of their nausea and vomiting status. The results of the Bland-Altman analysis showed that the correlation coefficient between the differences and the means was insignificant.
本研究旨在为癌症患儿开发恶心和呕吐温度计量表(NVTS)。
本方法学研究于 2019 年 9 月至 2020 年 1 月在土耳其的一所研究和培训大学医院对 250 名癌症患儿进行。使用 t 检验、ROC 分析、诊断指数和 Youden 指数来确定截断点的量表。使用回归分析、组内相关系数和 BlandAltman 分析进行数据分析。
量表级内容效度指数为.94,具有一致性。ROC 分析的结果确定截断点为 3 分。NVTS 显示出良好的可靠性,组内相关系数为.99。在线性回归分析中,为化疗药物、恶心和呕吐类型、呕吐状态以及呕吐的癌症患儿数量创建了一个模型,解释了 44.9%的恶心和呕吐状态。Bland-Altman 分析的结果表明,差异与平均值之间的相关系数无显著性。
